huh?
Why on earth not???? I can run official Macromedia software but
not
OpenOffice?? That really does NOT sound logical.
Yeah - that's a pretty dumb thing to say. Mac OS 9 can run MS Office 2001
- which has nearly as many features, and more applications than OOo. Adobe
Photoshop, Acrobat, Pagemaker, etc - can all run on Mac OS 9 (older
versions, granted, but just as resource hungry - if not more so - than OOo).
It is a completely untrue statement.
OpenOffice.org could run just fine on Mac OS 9 if it was ported to that OS.
If you can run OOo on OS/2 - then Mac OS 9 can handle it.
OOo does not run /natively/ on OS/2, but under a Windows emulator
(ODIN). I was disappointed to discover this, frankly. StarOffice 5.0
and 5.1 worked on OS/2 as native apps.
